Notes: Moritsugu Ganeko collected his 13th hit of the tournament in the 6th, tying a record for most hits during a tournament. Ganeko ended the tournament 13-for-23. ... Impressive outing by Yosuke Shimabukuro. His fastball was still topping out at about 140km/h in the 12th (despite his extremely high pitch count). The mileage is worrisome, but he has great control of his fastball and keeps his pitches down low in the zone.

Notes: Nihon-Dai Dai-San advances to the finals for the first time since 1972. ... The offense collected 6 consecutive hits (with one walk sandwiched in between) in the 8th.

===

Konan vs Ogaki Nihon-Dai - 13:30 -- CANCELED DUE TO RAIN

The game has been postponed to Friday at 2pm. The announcers also mentioned that this game will be the only one played. I'm guessing that means the Finals games will be pushed back to Saturday.

...Seems a reporter for Shogakukan was caught using his credentials in an unauthorized manner and has since been banned from the rest of the event. Seems he also got a stern warning from his employers as well.

Other scoring notes: the walk-off RBI single in the 10th was actually a hot-shot to third with the bases loaded and no out. The third baseman managed to knock the ball down and keep it in the infield, but by the time he retrieved it, it was too late.

Other scoring notes: 5th inning, runner on second, 2 out. Kanayama hits a ball through the left side. The left fielder throws the ball to home. The catcher quick catches the ball and throws it to second to try and catch a running Kanayama, but the ball goes into the outfield. Since the center field was backing up the left fielder, there was no one to back up the play behind second. The ball rolled out close to the outfield wall, allowing Kanayama to score.

Other scoring notes: on the triple Nishida hit in the 2nd, he actually came all away around the score as the ball was hit over the left fielder's head and rolled all the way to the outfield wall. The throw toward home was also off-line.

Notes: Two consecutive games Spring Koshien were rained out for the first time since 1985. Due to the two rain outs, the quarterfinals that were originally scheduled to take place over two days, will be merged into one day (3/31). The semifinals will be played on 4/1 and the finals on 4/2.
